Prophecy1 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hey everyone, I used to visit the forums a couple years ago under the alias "mrphats" (dont ask) Anyhoo its been a while and I have a new alias and some new speakers. Today I went to Ovaition A/V in lexington with the intentions of getting either some subs for my car or some SF-1 or SF-2's. Well fiance thought the subs would be more of a toy for me than for the both of us so I ended up getting speakers. However the salesman showed me some new speakers and those are the RF-15's. These little bad boys sound good. Anyhoo My question now? How hell are you supposed to hook these up now? Come on 4 inputs on the back of the speakers? Do you go from 1 terminal to the next or is that what that gold bridge is for? Or do you go from the top to the bottom or vise versa? My system now composes of the following: TV:Toshiba Model: 32HF73 Reciever: Pioneer VSX-D810S Pioeneer DVD Player 434 Samsung HDTV SAT RECIEVER 4 Quintets KSW-12 Sub KSC-C1 Center RF-15's Thanks in advanced Picture included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yromj Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Welcome back (too bad you didn't call yourself Kotter). Just run a typical speaker wire to one set of the terminals. (If you want to use banana plugs, the little plastic pieces come out of the center.) The "strap" is a jumper strap connecting the two sets of posts together. If you so desire you can run two seperate wires from your receiver's A and B speaker posts, after you've removed the jumper, for some "bi-wiring" (I still don't like calling this bi-amping, but that's a whole other debate). I would just run a wire to a set of posts (doesn't matter which one) and leave the jumper alone. Just pretend the second set isn't there and enjoy those sleek beauties.

Prophecy1 Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 So your saying just hook it up and leave the brige there? Thanks Proph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scp53 Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 yes just leave the bridge there. don't run multiple wires from your receiver. I really see no point to biwire speakers-it all comes form the exact same amp. biamping is the only thing I would ever consider... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophecy1 Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Well at the A/V Shop they sounded great. I mean they whipped the **** out of the SF's. However bad news One of the speakers is bad I brought them home and hooked them up and low and behold one is blown. I paid about 500 for the two.

Hopefully the dealer isn't very far away. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 $500 for RF-15's I would have bought a used pair of Heresy's or Heresy II's instead but that is just me. I hope that you can get the faulty speaker replaced without any hassles though. Welcome back by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
